Big Blue Lily Turf adds a striking touch to gardens with its lush, arching green leaves and stunning spikes of vibrant blue flowers. This hardy perennial thrives in various conditions, making it a versatile choice for any landscape. |
Liriope muscari 'Big Blue' is a cultivar of the popular lilyturf plant known for its showy flower spikes. Growing 12-18 inches tall, this liriope forms dense clumps of strap-like, evergreen foliage. In late summer, upright stalks rise above the leaves, bearing dense clusters of lavender-blue flowers. These blooms give way to black berries in fall. 'Big Blue' is a tough, low-maintenance groundcover that thrives in full sun to partial shade and a variety of soil types. It works well for edging, massing, and filling in spaces in perennial beds, borders, and foundation plantings. Liriope muscari 'Big Blue' is also deer resistant and drought tolerant once established, making it a reliable choice for landscaping.
